Sir Rod & The Blues Doctors

  • Terra Blues 149 Bleecker Street New York, NY, 10012 United States (map)

Riding high on the success of Come Together (2020), their acclaimed debut release, Sir Rod & The Blues Doctors is a passion project —a soulful, funky, Deep South trio bound by a family connection to Blues great, the late Sterling “Mr. Satan” Magee (1936-2020). The catchy title track, “Come Together,” is a Gussow-Patterson collaboration that speaks prophetically to the COVID-19 crisis and the virus of racism. Rod Patterson, aka “Sir Rod,” is Magee’s nephew. Sir Rod and The Blues Doctors is a new musical partnership with Adam Gussow, who played extensively with Magee during his lifetime under the stage name "Satan & Adam" (it is the subject of a 2018 Netflix documentary). Sir Rod and The Blues Doctors is an effort to preserve the music that the legendary duo played together. Featuring Patterson up front, Gussow on amplified harmonica and drums, and Alan Gross on electric guitar — a powerful mix of down-home blues, old-school soul, and uptown funk. Rod Patterson is an award-winning dancer specializing in the fancy footwork of James Brown and Michael Jackson. Adam Gussow, has been called “one of the world’s finest blues harmonica players,” and is acknowledged by his peers as a contemporary master. His one-man-band version of “Crossroads Blues” has drawn more than 4 million views on YouTube.
